An Ideal Getaway for a Yoga break We wanted to offer you something very special. So quite naturally, with the support of the Management Team of the Palm Beach Hotel**** we imagined this new, personalised and exclusive experience, open to beginners and experienced practitioners alike. During these 5 days together, we shall dedicate ourselves to the practice of Iyengar Yoga. We shall approach various aspects of this fascinating practice, recognised throughout the world. We will also get to know its founder, the venerable BKS Iyengar, one of the greatest Yogi Masters of the 20th century. Antonina Rubina, as a certified teacher of Iyengar Yoga, will supervise this course. She has been trained by Faeq Biria, a disciple of BKS Iyengar and founder of the Iyengar Yoga Centre in Paris. You will discover new boundaries, through the richness of this style, which is based on Postural Alignment. Thematic conferences, workshops, vegetarian and vegan meals, relaxation and happiness are also part of the programme. For our 5-day / 4-night Yoga stay, the premises will be entirely privatised . The group of practitioners is limited to 15 people to make sure that you will receive all the individual attention you require. Coming to the Palm Beach Hotel**** to follow our courses is the assurance of discovering a piece of Heaven: an outdoor and indoor Yoga room, a vegetarian and vegan restaurant, a straw hut, a sublime beach... everything you need is here for you to have an unforgettable time. Located 10 minutes away from Ajaccio town centre, and 20 minutes away from the international airport, with a private parking for more comfort, all the conditions are gathered to guarantee an exclusive moment reflecting our desire to satisfy you.

Your program Attention is paid to the alignment of the different parts of the body in space : Study of inverted postures and their benefits Study of back bending postures Study of forward bending postures The organisation of postures in "sequences". The use of supports (straps, bricks, blankets, chairs, ropes…), is an integral part of the “Iyengar process” developed by BKS Iyengar to guide the practitioner. BKS Iyengar developed this method for himself first and used this support. He described his body as “a tool to discover the immensity of the universe of Yoga”. BKS Iyengar’s ingenuity was equalled only by his benevolence. 1. SCHEDULE DAY OF ARRIVAL18:45 : ARRIVAL 19:00 : Meeting the group. Presentation of the course by the Lemon & Love Yoga Team.
